“…The ‘Palestine Exception’ is so pervasive on campuses in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany and other places that many commentaries, articles and books have been written about it (e.g. Capdepón and Moses, 2021; Drummond, 2014; Hill and Plitnick, 2021; Landy et al, 2020; Palumbo-Liu, 2017; Shwaikh and Gould, 2019; Thompson, 2011). In hushed tones around university campuses, academics know well that talking openly and honestly about Palestine and Palestinian liberation is dangerous.…”

This article explores an important feature of anti-Palestinian racism (APR) that is salient in the North American and European academic landscape: the expulsion of the Palestinian critique of Zionism and Israel from rational and even anti-racist discourse. This expulsion takes place through the toxification of the Palestinian other whereby Palestinian epistemology is to be mistrusted and shunned because it is allegedly rooted in an antisemitic disposition. This amounts to a racialization of the Palestinian critique in the name of anti-racism, which can be seen in recent definitions of antisemitism, the debate over the boycott of Israeli academic institutions and harassment campaigns against Palestinian scholars. I argue that we must name this expulsion as a form of racialization that is part and parcel of colonial modernity. The article concludes that without a centralization of the Palestinian critique, decolonial and anti-racist efforts will not live up to their professed ideals.
